Each year, Boulder Canyon raptor nesting area closures are in effect starting February 1st through July 31st at Eagle Rock, Security Risk, Blob Rock, and Bitty Buttress. However, the area is monitored and closures are periodically lifted early (due to no active nest, nest site failure, or early fledging). This monitoring program is a partnership with the Forest Service Boulder Ranger District, Boulder Climbing Community, and Audubon Society. Check back periodically during times of closure for updates.

This information is a public crowdsourcing effort between the Access Fund,
and Mountain Project.You should confirm closures, restrictions, and/or related dates.

Description

This route ascends the bulging north face using the arete. A moderate start leads past 2 bolts to a ledge. Continue up the arete using handholds on the edge of the right side of the arete with your body & feet on the left. The first holds are good. Then the holds are small, sharp, painful crimpers. The crux at the last two bolts moves up the face & then left to end at a juggy horizontal break. Traverse right up the break. A very short corner leads to the anchor.

Protection

Really fun and well bolted if you want to climb at your limit. Basically 3 bolts of 5.7 to a V5/V6 boulder problem. If you can on-sight this sucker without the draws pre-hung, you are a bad-azz. The crux is surprisingly over hung with a reachy off balance hand match. Could this be 12b? Yea maybe...Get on it!
